🎬 Ouarzazate sits at the crossroads of the High Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert, earning its nickname as the 'Door of the Desert.' It's also known as 'Hollywood of Africa' thanks to its famous film studios where blockbusters like Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, and Game of Thrones were filmed.
🎥 Film Heritage
Atlas Studios and CLA Studios are the largest film studios in the world outside Hollywood. Visitors can tour sets from famous productions, including Egyptian temples, Roman coliseums, and medieval cities — all built in the Moroccan desert.
Getting There
The drive from Marrakech over the Tizi n'Tichka pass (2,260m) is spectacular. Rent from OLIVIANA CAR for the journey — about 4 hours through dramatic mountain scenery.
